IRC help

[Homer]

Hello.
I just want to ask something about IRC - first I don't know where to buy it (I'm from Slovakia,- isn't here), maybe at the Post-Office, no?
Second, if IRC is just a paper like this, I have to place here US stamp or what? Or I just have to place here 2-3 IRC papers and that's all...?

I know what you think... But I'm sending a letter like this first time... Thank you.

P.S.: (Sorry for my bad english)

Hey Homer!
Welcome here
You can buy IRCs at the local post office. If you have IRC, you do not need any extra stamps-the celebrity can exchange IRC for a stamp ;)
Hope it helps
Good luck! {thumb2}

Thank you But I afraid that when I ask a officer for a IRC, he won't know what it means ;) And how many IRC's I will need, don't you know please?

Ask for International Reply Coupons rather than IRCs to avoid confusion! :razz: You will need 1 IRC for ever 20g of weight. So you'll probably need 2 or 3 I would say.

Good luck! {thumb2}

Hmm, thanks all, I really appreciate that, but I have a BIG problem.
When I get to Post-Officer, I tried to ask officer for IRC -
"Excuse me, good day, I want a International Reply Coupon, it's that you can send to someone in another country and he could change it for a stamp from his country, ...".
"Try to ask in next window."
I moved to next window...
"Hello, do you have a...".
"No, next please".

Horror... Slovakia is in European Union, and we don't have IRC...? I don't think that, I just think that they're too lazy
Anybody knows another way? Do I need to send IRC? What about sending U.S. stamps? Or I have to ask in another Post-Office...?

Of course you can send USA stamps too But it's not possible to buy them through the internet unless one of the users sells them to you There are many who are willing to trade or sell some. Also, you can go to the bank and order some US dollars-3 or 4$ should be enough.

Yes, it's good idea, but in Slovak banks... I'll pay 2x more But we have there one NICE shop with stamps, I think there will be U.S. Stamps, thanks for help ;)

[ursha]

Sounds good Why don't we have a shop with stamps?
Well, I have my fingers crossed ;)

You have shops that sell international stamps?

Yes, it's philatelic shop with used or unused international / Slovak / Czechoslovak stamps. I'm not sure that they'll have unused American stamps which are valid, but maybe yes. If no, I'll change money in bank as ursha said :/
